Nicholas Negroponte on the Last and Next 30 Years of Tech Innovations

Nicholas Negroponte founded Media Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1985, and the lab quickly gained fame as an interdisciplinary research laboratory devoted to projects at the convergence of technology, multimedia, sciences, art and design.

In the TED talk below, Negroponte takes us on a journey through the last 30 years of technology innovations. He highlights interfaces and innovations he foresaw in the 1970s and 1980s and he leaves us with a thoughtful prediction for the coming 30 years.
